EFFORTS to draw drug companies here to conduct trials for new medicines are paying off, with a record 286 trials started last year.

Since 2004, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has approved 200 or more new trials every year, involving 2,000 to 3,000 people altogether.

One in three of last year's record haul of trials was for cancer treatment, reflecting the focus of big pharmaceutical research in recent years. Others included drugs for heart, eye, gut and brain problems.

Doctors initiate just a quarter of trials here, with drug companies behind the rest.

The companies need the findings of the trials to be accepted by health authorities in the United States and in Europe, where patients' buying power makes the US$1 billion (S$1.4 billion) spent in developing a new drug worthwhile.

Professor Soo Khee Chee, head of the National Cancer Centre (NCC), says that drug companies are increasingly drawn to Singapore because of the high standards of medical practice, technological expertise, and government support, which mean that trials can be conducted with speed and efficiency.

open gambling dens, provide guinea pigs ... as long as can make moni, can oredi ...
 
Shows that more and more Singaporeans are DESPERATE for money to fill their stomachs. That is why they are willing to risk their lifes.

So who say economy is good? Earn $1000 a month enough to live in Singapore?
Not even enough for 15 days plus rent ok.

 
I know of an unemployed man in his early fifties who 'volunteers' for drug trials by various drug companies in Singapore. Sometimes for a 15-day trial test, he can receive between $1500 - $3000 (depending on the length of the hospital stay and number of clinical examinations during the trial period). Sometimes, for a short trial he gets $800.

He has been doing this for almost one and a half years. The money he gets from these trials keep him going because he is jobless. So far he is lucky, no known side effects have taken a toll on his life.

So, in a country like Singapore, where the so called FTs have taken over the jobs of older (and educated) Singaporeans, I guess these foreign pharmaceutical companies find no difficulty in recruiting Singapore 'volunteers' for their drug tests.
